Justin Smoak back from DL
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5:34 pm ET) The Mariners have officially activated first baseman Justin Smoak from the 15-day disabled list prior to Tuesday's game against the Angels. Smoak, who had been on the disabled list since May 30 with a strained oblique, hit .240/.350/.344 with three homers and eight RBI in 46 games.

Alex Liddi sent back down
by Igor Mello | CBSSports.com
(5:26 pm ET) The Mariners have optioned infielder Alex Liddi to Triple-A Tacoma in order to clear space for first baseman Justin Smoak on the active roster. Liddi had just one hit in 17 at-bats in the majors.

J.A. Happ throws side session
by Jeff Lippman | CBSSports.com
(5:24 pm ET) Blue Jays starter J.A. Happ threw his first side session Tuesday since being struck by a comebacker and suffering a knee sprain, Sportsnet.ca reports. 

Happ took another step in a positive direction. He originally suffered a nasty head injury in his last start May 7 against Tampa Bay but is having more trouble with a knee injury as a result of the subsequent fall. 


What more do you want from Dan Straily?
by Scott White | Senior Fantasy Writer
(5:21 pm ET) Looking at the comments on Dan Straily's player page, you'd think no pitcher had ever given up six earned runs in a game. It was a pretty typical bad start he had at the Rangers Monday. Nothing historical or anything. Let's all just chill, OK?

If you really don't want him on your team anymore, my Fantasy Baseball Today colleagues ran through some Straily trade scenarios on Tuesday's show. But as you know from owning ... fill in the blank -- any pitcher in the history of time would work ... one bad start doesn't trump a series of good starts. Straily came into Monday's start with a 2.20 ERA in his previous five. What a find he was for your pitching staff. What a boon off the waiver wire. You're going to throw that away because of that one time he stumbled? Ruthless.

Not to mention short-sighted. I can understand being somewhat discouraged with his strikeout rate so far given his minor-league track record, but he has a 1.14 WHIP on the season. And that includes all those ugly starts before he had a chance to settle into the Athletics' rotation. Straily pitches deep into games, doesn't walk anyone and, apart from Monday, doesn't give up home runs. He does everything a non-strikeout pitcher needs to do to succeed, only with him, you can still hold out hope for strikeouts. What more can you ask of a pitcher?

Maybe you guys just play in smaller leagues than I do.
